FroYo Android 2.2 Update Features & Improvements

 Android-Logo-Leaning 
The latest android update features many new optimizations. There are shortcuts for the phone, app launcher and browser at the bottom of all the home screen panels and the main Home screen has a 'tips widget' for new users explaining what the launcher is, where the other panels are, how to add, move and delete shortcuts and widgets (and how to get rid of this very basic widget once you've mastered the Home screen). The camera also gets a slightly new interface, with five on-screen buttons that you can tap to set geotagging, white balance, focus exposure and zoom. The mobile-optimised videos on the Warner Brothers and ExpixHD sites are higher quality and look more detailed, especially after the first few seconds of streaming. Full 720p video on the Yahoo Movies site looks great when it plays, but it's very bursty and pauses repeatedly. Other promised features in Android 2.2 don't yet work, like being able to choose whether to install downloaded apps to main memory or the SD card. When you look at your apps in the Settings menu there's a greyed-out 'Move to SD card' button for each app, but apps will need to be written specially to let you install them on the SD card in the first place or move them there later.
